Garden eye spy: Monarch butterfly

As I do my best to enjoy the final few days of summer and navigate through the inevitable change of seasons, I find myself exhilarated for the crisp, comforting colours of fall. While relaxing on a beach over the long weekend and allowing the sun to bake into my bones I was joined by the fluttering presence of a burnt orange butterfly — the regal Monarch.I was delighted by my delicate friend and thought him a very fitting companion to send out the summer with and welcome in the autumn. After all, his colors are very fall-like indeed. What are you looking forward to this fall?
